Every death is a tragedy, each loss of life the end of an opportunity to do God's will on Earth.

This site is devoted to exploring difficult questions surrounding life and death. It features excerpts from two of my books, Really Dead? and Mourning Under Glass (as well as the opportunity to purchase each).

As it grows, it will also have pages dealing with medical ethics from a Jewish perspective, matters of life and death.

BS"D

For in death there is no mention of You,

from the Depths who will praise You?

(Psalms 6:6)

On March 6, 2008 an Arab terrorist went on a murderous rampage in Jerusalem's Merkaz HaRav Yeshivah. Eight young men were killed. Among them, my beloved sixteen-year-old son, Avraham David Moses, hy"d. This book explores the aftermath of terror and loss while  grappling with the tensions between memory and memorial.

• Really Dead?
